A 16-channel fNIRS system is used over the prefrontal cortex during motor imagery and motor execution. Preliminary results shows that the activation of the prefrontal cortex during motor imagery task is related with high levels of cognitive processing, namely attentional engagement, rather than motor execution from the measurements using generalised linear model. Results show that fNIRS holds great promise as a tool for clinical studies, cognitive and behavioural neuroscience research.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBrain-Computer InterfacesNirsConference Object21212118N/AWOS:000356351400509
